Didn't you get an owners manual for your truck? It will list all fluid quantities. My Ram came with a Chrysler oil filter, I replaced it with a Wix.....Chrysler filters are probably made by Champion, in researching them I found the Wix got very good ratings across the board and are as inexpensive as Fram, they are sponsored by Nascar although I seriously doubt they run the same filters.
